an I for an I

Theres been a phrase that's been circling through my mind all day like a fish in a bowl; and that phrase is: "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind; and in the land of the blind, the man with one eye is king. " I would ask for everyone's interpretation of it but seeing as I don't have any followers it'd be like talking to a blank wall. So I will offer my interpretation of it and ask that if anyones flipping though random blogs that they follow me! :) Here it is: So the first part, an eye for an eye that's easy. It's talking about revenge. Then it says, makes the whole world blind. Which I say means that it's like a  domino effect. People are just going to keep trying to get revenge and it will effect everyone. Then it says, and in the land of the blind, the man with one eye is king. Which means that trying to get revenge for something that someone does isn't helpful. The king has one eye which means someone tried to attack him, but he didn't strike back or try to get his own revenge so they didn't have/need to poke out his other eye. WHICH MEANS!... Revenge is bad, and you should learn to forgive people.
